Top medical professional liability insurers North America 2020-2022, by market share

In 2022, the largest North American medical malpractice insurer was Berkshire Hathaway Group with a market share of almost 20 percent. Medical malpractice insurance protects healthcare providers from claims filed by their patients (or the patients’ family members) alleging that their negligent acts injured or caused the death of the patient. This is a type of professional liability insurance. The most populous states are, unsurprisingly, where the bulk of these insurance products are sold.Berkshire Hathaway is the clear market leader Berkshire Hathaway Group wrote direct medical professional liability insurance premiums worth over two billion U.S. dollars in 2022. Doctors Co Group and Proassurance Corp Group were the second and third largest medical malpractice insurers, respectively, but their combined direct premiums equaled less than those written by Berkshire. This indicates that Berkshire is likely to remain the market leader in the near future, unless another company dramatically increases their medical malpractice insurance operations.

于2022年，北美最大的医疗事故保险公司为伯克希尔·哈撒韦集团，其市场份额接近20%。医疗事故保险旨在为医疗机构提供保障，以应对患者（或患者家属）对其疏忽行为导致的患者受伤或死亡所提出的索赔。此类保险属于专业责任保险范畴。不出所料，人口最多的州往往也是此类保险产品的主要销售区域。伯克希尔·哈撒韦集团无疑是市场领导者，2022年其直接医疗专业责任保险保费超过20亿美元。医生公司集团和Proassurance公司集团分别位列第二和第三大医疗事故保险公司，但其合计直接保费仍不及伯克希尔·哈撒韦集团。这表明，除非有其他公司大幅增加其医疗事故保险业务，否则伯克希尔·哈撒韦集团在短期内有望继续保持市场领导地位。
